Summary/Abstract: Using the interpretation of subjective constitutional rights included in the judgement of the Constitutional Tribunal K 18/04, the author tries to show that according to the Polish constitution, there are no obstacles to grant foreigners full electoral rights in local elections. The problems regarding political parties relate to the citizens of EU Member States who, according to TFEU, shall have the right to vote and to stand as a candidate at municipal and EP elections under the same conditions as nationals of that state.
